Transducer to the ICP Extension Cable.
Verify status indicator light is SOLID AMBER
prior to continuing. Prepare the Codman
Microsensor ICP Transducer for zeroing per
the user manual.
Press and Hold the ZERO BUTTON for
approximately 8 seconds. Zeroing begins
when amber status light starts flashing. Wait

ICP SENSOR SETUP

Patient Monitor for Transport
and Patient Care Activities
Reconnect DirectLink ICP Module if needed
to any compatible patient monitor and follow
instructions under PATIENT MONITOR SETUP.
Reconnect the Codman Microsensor CP
Transducer and/or cable, if needed.
Press ARROW BUTTON and ZERO BUTTON
simultaneously (ACKNOWLEDGE FUNCTION)
to confirm sensor zero value and continue
monitoring. SOLID GREEN status light will
illuminate aer 4 seconds and ICP signal
should appear on patient monitor.
An implanted sensor MUST be reconnected to the
same DirectLink® ICP Module that was used for
zeroing prior to implantation! Failure to do so may
result in inaccurate ICP readings.

DISCONNECTING & RECONNECTING

SOLID RED LIGHT – MODULE ERROR DETECTED
RESET PROCEDURE: Any time the red status
light illuminates, the Module must be RESET by
disconnecting power. Unplug cable from patient
monitor and reconnect to reset.
If error occurs during...
SELF-TEST: RESET to try again. If problem persists,
patient monitor may be incompatible or DirectLink ICP
Module needs to be replaced.
DURING USE: A damaged cable or sensor may have
been detected.
1) Disconnect all cables & sensor and RESET module.
2) Reconnect ICP Extension Cable; if error returns,
replace extension cable and RESET.
3) Reconnect sensor; if error returns, replace sensor
and RESET.
4) If problem persists, replace DirectLink ICP Module.

TROUBLESHOOTING

FLASHING AMBER LIGHT WILL NOT TURN GREEN
If error occurs during...
SENSOR ZEROING: A non-stable signal was detected
from sensor. Verify sensor is not already implanted.
An implanted sensor may not be re-zeroed (see
“Disconnecting & Reconnecting” section to resume
monitoring an implanted sensor). If sensor is not
implanted, make sure sensor and DirectLink Cables are
positioned away from other electrical equipment, hold
sensor steady and repeat zeroing process. If problem
persists, it is likely a bad ICP Extension Cable, ICP
Sensor or electrical interference from other equipment.
RESUMING AN IMPLANTED SENSOR
(ACKNOWLEDGE FUNCTION):A pulsatile signal was
not detected from sensor. Verify that the sensor is
implanted and has not become dislodged. Perform
ACKNOWLEDGE (double press) function again. If
problem persists, sensor, extension cable or DirectLink
ICP Module may be faulty.
